The Hole:
A bunker at around 200 yards will catch the pushed tee shot at 'Probus', but the real test is the second shot to a raised two-tiered green. The front of the green slopes, so a shot left short will run back off the green. Two bunkers guard the sides of the green, while the steep slope at the back of the green means you must either be confident of hitting the green, or be prepared to lay-up short and get up-and-down in two.

Pro's Advice:
Not a long par 4, but the second shot to the green is critical, as it tends to throw the ball off either side. This could lead to one or more tricky bunker shots.

Member's Advice:
A nice driving hole right in front of the clubhouse, the challenge with the 9th hole is the second shot. The green is elevated with has two levels and the further you are back down the fairway, the harder it is to hit. However, laying up in the dip at the front of the green is always a good option, while ending up in either of the side bunkers is not. A great green for putting on though, as you try to work out the borrows over the different levels.

For the Ladies :
A tricky hole no matter what standard you are. For the mid to high handicappers the bunker on the right might catch your tee shot; for the low handicappers position is all important. The shot into the green is difficult from anywhere except the middle of the fairway. The green is narrow and tiered. Bunkers lurk right and left and catch anything but a good shot. If you are bunkered then anything from a 6,7,8,9,10, could result!! If you do get on the green and are on the lower tier and the flag is on the upper, then a 2 putt is a good rusult!
